Removes grease and oil vapour – filters grease before it spreads onto walls, ceilings, and equipment.
Controls cooking smells – exhausts odours from the kitchen.
Removes heat – helps reduce the temperature around cooking equipment.
Removes steam and moisture – reduces humidity and condensation.
Improves indoor air quality – removes airborne particles and combustion gases.
